This is the kind of thing that destroys clubs for a long time. That pick 12 might be pick 5. Its very little upside and that's with me leading the hewett cheersquad
and it could be pick 15
All depends on how highly they rate Hewitt
 

Elijah Hewett​

POS: Midfielder
Ht 185cm, Wt 85kg, DOB 27/5/04
From Swan Districts/Western Australia

There is a chance Hewett is still available by the Eagles' third pick. He has been a game-breaker at stages throughout this season as another midfielder in the pool with strength, speed and an explosive streak. He spent time playing for Swan Districts' senior WAFL team and enjoys busting out of a stoppage and also pushing forward. Clubs inside the top 10, such as Geelong and St Kilda, have put time into him but he could also get through a few more positions and be available later on.

If not him? Versatile small Darcy Jones could be a consideration, as may Charlie Clarke or Jacob Konstanty if either is available. Jakob Ryan is another in the same boat. The Eagles could also be a bidder for Max Michalanney should he still be there at their choice.
Thanks Mowman

I want to have enough trust to gamble but when Sydney are a bit half in to this draft, I worry about doing exactly the kind of act that has got us to our current lack of high end players.

Hewett has pace, power, doesn't panic when he gets the ball when he's in a pack and kicks both sides. He moves like an afl footballer.
I put a lot of value in seeing what a player does when they get the ball and there's an opponent 1-2 meters in front of them. Hewett is completely unphased. Unless he's a nutcase or doesn't work hard, it's unclear to me how he isn't a top 10 lock in this draft.

Is it a case of a very strong top 10

Knightmare has Pou number 2 in his power rankings. Looks like he spent a lot of time in the midfield this year. Some decent numbers.

2. Mattaes Phillipou (SANFL - Woodville-West Torrens)

The son of Sam, Mattaes is a 192cm, dual position impact player who is arguably this year's most damaging prospect through the midfield and up forward.

As a forward, Phillipou hits the scoreboard at will, sets up teammates inside 50 with precise entry kicks, is a strong overhead mark, powerful ground ball winner and uses his pace to create meaningful separation on the lead and kicks goals on the burst.

Through the midfield, Phillipou is a powerful contested ball winner who regularly wins first possession at stoppages and displays a burst of speed and class with ball in hand. Phillipou's most influential performance this year came for South Australia during the Under-18 Championships against the Allies where he amassed 24 disposals, 17 contested possessions, six marks (one contested), five clearances, two goals and two score assists. The same dominant football was played by Phillipou against Victoria Metro where he was the most influential player early and picked up nine disposals in the first 15 minutes of play before leaving the field under serious duress and requiring treatment on his lower back.

Phillipou was a star performer in the SANFL this year with averages of 33 disposals, 8.3 inside 50s and 3.3 shots on goal over his last four SANFL Under-18 matches, and in his final SANFL Reserves match kicked a game-high three goals. With a December 27th birthday, Phillipou qualifies for this year's draft as one of its youngest. With his performances on the board, mix of attributes, influence on games across multiple positions, rapid rate of improvement and very late-year birthday, Phillipou arguably possesses the highest ceiling in this year's draft.

Phillipou at No. 2 is a decision unique to this draft board.
"Son of Sam" ... sounds to me like he just failed the character test ;)

His output just hasn't been there this year.

He was good in one champs game but average in the rest

Has played decent senior footy but never really set the world on fire

His game style has been compared to Dusty and Petracca but just hasn't shown anywhere near the type of quality those guys had
 
With the prospect that our future 1st could be as high as even pick 1, we would surely get something back along with GWS’s pick 15.

A lot of it would depend on where they project us to finish.

If they think our wheels are about to fall off we could get say 15 and 19 for our F1 and 32. Or something along those lines.
